Golden Knights rumors: Vegas trying to trade depth defenseman

It's a high-stakes showdown in the Club World Cup quarter-finals as Brazil's Palmeiras take on England's Chelsea. The winner advances to the semi-finals, where Fluminense—another Brazilian team—has already secured their spot after beating Al-Hilal. The big question: will this match set up an all-Brazilian or all-European semi-final clash?

Editor’s Note: This isn't just another game—it's a battle between continents. Chelsea represents Europe's elite, while Palmeiras carries South America's hopes. The outcome could shape the rest of the tournament, either keeping Brazilian pride alive or reinforcing European dominance in global club football. For fans, it's a must-watch moment in the sport's calendar.

Kendrick Perkins, the ESPN analyst and former NBA player, had some strong words for Deandre Ayton after the center signed with the Lakers. While some see this as a big opportunity for Ayton to shine alongside stars like LeBron James and Luka Doncic, Perkins made it clear that the pressure and expectations in L.A. won’t be easy to handle. Ayton already made a statement to fans and the front office, but Perkins is essentially saying, "Buckle up—this isn’t Phoenix anymore."

Editor’s Note: The Lakers are always under a microscope, and Ayton’s move to L.A. comes with a spotlight he hasn’t faced before. Perkins isn’t just giving advice—he’s setting the tone for how Ayton’s performance will be judged. If Ayton thrives, it could redefine his career. If he struggles, the criticism will be loud. For Lakers fans, this is another high-stakes gamble in their never-ending quest for contention.

Two big names in Hong Kong rugby sevens are making their comebacks this weekend in England’s LIT Super Sevens Series finale. Seb Brien, who’s been out since tearing his ACL last July, and Melody Li Nim-yan, who took time off to have a baby earlier this year, are both back in action. Brien missed the chance to play in the historic Kai Tak Stadium sevens debut, but now fans get to see these key players return.

Editor’s Note: For rugby fans, this is a feel-good story about resilience and fresh starts. Brien’s return from a serious injury and Li’s comeback after childbirth highlight the personal challenges athletes overcome—something that resonates beyond sports. It’s also a boost for Hong Kong’s rugby scene, showing depth and dedication in its players.

US soccer star Christian Pulisic and sportswear giant PUMA have teamed up to open their second 'Stomping Grounds' facility—this time in Culver City. The project provides free, high-quality soccer spaces for underserved kids, pairing the sport with mentorship and life skills programs to help young players on and off the field.

Editor’s Note: Pro athletes often give back, but Pulisic’s initiative stands out by tackling two big gaps: lack of access to quality sports facilities and guidance for kids who need it most. It’s not just about soccer—it’s using the game as a tool to build confidence and opportunities. With youth sports becoming increasingly expensive, programs like this keep the playing field (literally) more equitable.

The nation's top-ranked high school quarterback just weighed in on Texas football's newest recruit, sparking buzz among fans. While the article doesn't reveal exactly what was said, the reaction from such a high-profile player suggests this could be a big deal for Texas' recruiting momentum.
